If you are using RedHat you should use "rpm -e" to remove packages.  But
you probably don't want to do it with glib, since many packages depend on
it.

MC requires glib-1.2.0 or above.  To my best knowledge MC has never
required a higher version.  glib-1.2.6 should be fine.

This is quite useless.  I only can deduce that this test failed (since it
was dumped to config.log), but I don't see how, i.e. which of those
printf()s was actually executed.  It must be below this part.

Please don't quote parts irrelevant to your message.

I'll ignore all your further messages if you don't mention what version of
Midnight Commander you are using.
